How John Smiths Demise Was Recorded
in the Papers of His Native Town.
4 Plain, Uurdrnished Tale. John
Smith fell down last night and broke
his neck.
The Florid Style. Our esteemed
townsman. Mr. John Smith, who has
gone in and out among us for many
years, and whose form and features
were as well known in our streets as
the familiar horse-cars which wind
their slow and melancholy way
through the city. has finally sue
cumbed to the inevitable fate which
hangs over lis all; the grim monster
in Mr.. Smiths case coming in the
form of sudden precipitation TO the
sidewalk. The fall resulted in the sew
erance of his trachelian vertebrse, and
death instantly intervening. the spirit
of our esteemed falow-citizen scared
toward that realm where sidewalks
present none of those pitfalls and in
equalties which beset the unwary upon
this mundane sphere.

three minutes past nine o'clock last

celebrated cobbler of No. 7845 Short
street, while walking along Canton
street, met with an inequality of the
sidewalk, just as he reached the corner
of Dock square, and striking thereon
the big toe of his left foot, he fell
stark and senseless corpse, his body
when discovered by a Btosoer represen-
tative lying at an angle of thirty-five de-
grees with the line of the curb. The
following diagram will help the read err

the police and for medical attendance.
When he returned he found the body

Mr.. Smith was conveyed to his once
happy home, but now the abode Of

cedtre had been gone through with,
and Louis found his uncle walking his
chamber by the light of tallow candle,
literally cursing all Spaniards and
Cubans, and raging like Gagged lion.

Had Louis Hunter possessed frank,
sympathizing nature he would have
embraced this opportunity to remove
| all Misunderstanding with his uncle.
The old sea-dog was now in that frame
of mind that made him wish to talk
with some one, and with Louis espec-
tally, about the stirring events of the
day, the Inconvenience and annoy
ances suffered from the Cuban authori-
ties, and the dubious prospects of the
return voyage of the bark, with her
picked-up crew. But Louis had neither
generosity of heart nor nobility of nat
ure. He was cold, selfish and
sinister; he had no real affection for
the man who had faithfully tried, in
his own rough, hearty way, to benefit
him; and it may bel do not know
that some dark schemes of seif-aggran-
dizement, prompted by late events,
had already entered the young mans
brain. However that may be, it is
certain that he repelled all the Cap
tain's friendly advances, went to bed,
and was presently asleep. Captain
Willis also soon retired; but this rude
disturbance of his slumbers had made
him wakeful, and it was not until the
clock struck two that sleep visited his
eyes. Then his rest was uneasy, and
troubled by dreams in which were
mingled in one grand confusion Cuban
garrotes, escaping filibusters, sick sail
ors, storms, calms and helpless vessels
drifting without crews. Nor did his
slumbers become calm and peaceful
till another vision had soothed them
a dream of quiet home in far-away
New England, and faces there that
were very dear to the old sea-dog's
heart

GIVING AND TAKING.
Some Pertinent Remarks on Subject of
Great Importance.

Some Pertinent Remarks on a subject OF
Great Importance.
In many a case, it is doing more for
q person to receive a gift or service
from him, than to give gift or to
render service to him. just because
it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive we have no right to be always
taking that blessing to ourselves; but
we should permit others to gain their
share of it. A child is helped by being
privileged to give Il gift to his parents,
or to render Il service to some one
whom he loves and honors. A scholar
Is worth more in class. through con-
tributing to the stock of its common
knowledge; and the class is worth
more to him in consequence. Mind
and character are develo ped through
their exercises, and are gamers
through their outlay; hence. in every
sphere of life there is an attainment
which is possible only through self
denial and self-expenditure. Our duty
toward others involves 4 looking at
their needs in more directions than
one; and in order to the meeting of
their need of this aid to their highest
development of mind and character,
we must often permit them to be
givers and doors. when we should re-
ally find more personal enjoyment i'll
comforting favors than in receiving

large number of floral decorations

readers will promptly be informed
as to their character, together
with the names of the donors. Mr..
Smith was forty-six years of age, and
his widow, nee Proggins, is two years
his junior. The ages of the several
children have already been given. 1t
is worthy of remark that had the &C.
cident occurred three or four feet
nearer Dock square. Mr.. Smith must
inevitably have fallen upon little boy
and dog who were playing together
in the gutter, and no doubt have
launched them both into eternity.
The Didactic Form. Last night,
shortly after the clocks of the city had
struck nine, John Smith was summoned
to his Maker through the Instrumental
ity of an imperfect sidewalk. This sad
event should teach our municipal
fathers to mend the ways of the city
ere others meet the fate of our depart
ed fellow-townsman, and each and all
of us to mend our individual ways ere
we fall to rise no more in the flesh.
The Learned Writer. An honest
wight, John Smith by name, while
threading his way in the vicinage of
Dock square last night, suddenly col
lided against protuberance in the
tesselated walk, and was instantly
propelled prone upon the pavement
with mortal hurt Death came sud-
denly, like Bozarris the brave upon the
unsuspecting Moslems, or rather like
the swift vengeance which followed
the presumption of the Abahorbegars
at the siege of Blimbornjekow, and
John Smith lay as did the slain that
sprinkled the field of Waterloo. where
the proud Cambronne defied death.
The protuberance which laid John
Smith low was irregular in appear
ance, resembling somewhat the par
ticles which strewed the plains around
Troy after the fall of that famed
stronghold. Mr.. Smith was but SIM
pie cordwainer, but he was as greatly
beloved in his narrow sphere as was
the knightly Arthur by the dashing
cavaliers and ladies fair who followed
the fortunes of the wielder of Excali-
bur and the seeker of the Holy Grail.

Captive in an Organ Pipe.

An amusing story is going about,
with the Archdeacon of Winchester for
its hero. A few days since. the Arch
deacon took Il party of ladies over the
Cathedral. and. having entered the
sacred edifice. put the key in his archi-
DIAGONAL pocket. The organ happened
to be under repair, and some of the
pipes were lying about. The Arch
deacon is a small man. and his evil
genius prompted him to give his
friends practical illustrations either
of his own smallncss or the vast dimen-
sions of one of the pipes by. crawling g
into it. But either the Archdeacon
was bigger than he supposed. or the
pipe was smaller; for. having screwed
himself inside, there the reverend gen.
tlemen stuck. The key of the church
being in his pocket. and the ladies
being unable to extract him, the Arch
deacon had to remain there till the
workmen came back from dinner If
this story be not true, It's pitv.-Lon-
don Truth

PART I.-CHAPTER v.

ON The DECK.
The master of the Nellie awoke
the next morning in state of uneasi-
ness lest he should be kept away from
his vessel for another day. Louis
wanted to remain in the city some
hours longer; but the Captain declared
that he should get back to the bark
just as soon as he was allowed, and
would then weigh anchor at once.
After an early breakfast Louis sullenly
followed him down to the quay. Many
small boats were waiting here under
the surveillance of the guard, the
"Nellie's'' among them. The hour
was not yet nine, but quite = crowd of
sailors had gathered. anxious to return
to their vessels. The officer of the
guard closely examined all of them,
permitted the greater number to enter
their boats, and detained few for
further examination. Captain Willis
and Louis easily passed, and We're
about to step into the boat which Dick
Purvis pulled up to the steps, when the
shipping-agent hastened up, followed
by man in a worn suit of sailors
clothes.
..rve got another man for you, Cap
tain," he said. '.He claims to be an
able seaman; but, unluckily, he can't
speak word of English. But I
thought, considering everything, you'd
like to take him. He talks Spanish
fast enough, anyway"
This last acquisition of the agent was
a man of apparently fifty years of age.
His bristly hair was grizzled, his shoul-
ders were slightly stopped, and his
forehead and cheeks were wrinkled.
His face had the decided hue of the
Spaniard. A great patch almost con-
ccaling his left eye gave rather an un-
pleasant aspect to his face. He was
not heavily built; his motions were
alert, and he seemed strong.
''Will you take him, sir?" asked the
agent.
The Captain looked at this new sailor
with no great enthusiasm in his face.
'.Mr. Simmons" he said, you've
already brought me eleven of the worst
looking fellows that ever stood on a
deck; and now here's another of the
same sort. Suppose he is a seaman-I
can't swear in Spanish. But suppose
we might as well have a round dozen
of 'em. Put him in the boat
Before this could be done the man
had to be examined by the officer. He
answered all the questions asked him
in good Spanish, which the Captain
caused Louis to interpret to him. He
